Respuesta :

Answer :  [tex]x+3x+x-10=190[/tex] , where  x= the money  ( in dollars) saved by Abraham.

Money saved by Abraham = $40

Money saved by Steven =  $120

Money saved by Christian =  $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money saved by Abraham be x ( in dollars).

According to the given statements ,

Money saved by Steven = 3x

Money saved by Christian = x-10

Together they have $190 , so [tex]x+3x+x-10=190[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 5x=190+10[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 5x=200[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x=40[/tex]

i.e. Money saved by Abraham = $40

Money saved by Steven = 3($40)= $120

Money saved by Christian = $40-$10 = $30
